...statements which have been widely circulated by the [Eureka] company in this and foreign countries to the effect that the [Hoover and Eureka] machines had been judged in competition by one or more fair, impartial and competent juries, with exhaustive tests and detailed examinations of the performance, construction and design of both machines, and that the machine [Eureka] had been found to be superior and had been awarded a grand prize by the Exhibition Association."

He is inclined to look on the study of mathematics, physics, or chemistry as something abstract, a kind of preliminary warming up for the real job which is to come later in the professional school.

In this case a high-grade bellboy might have been able to name the handsome patron: Cartoonist Rube Goldberg. The desk clerk could probably have named Mr. Goldberg's companions: Cartoonists Clare Briggs and Bud Fisher. . . . The first formal and annual dinner of the Cartoonists of America was a large event in a circle where events are not numerous...
